Huh, @cassandrapaul.bsky.social‬ and my paper that showed that demographic biases in physics classes can be removed was referenced by a Sociology professor in an article that showed up in at least 39 different publications yesterday. #iTeachPhysics 🎢 #Physics ⚛️ #EduSky 🍎 #academia #HigherEd

Re-posting and including picture showing no gender gap on low stakes in-term exams and significant negative gender gap on medium stakes in-term exams. Gender gap on the high stakes final exam is 50% larger than on the medium stakes exams. #iTeachPhysics 🎢 #Physics ⚛️ #EduSky 🍎 #academia #HigherEd

Everyone is weird. Being weird is what makes us human. We are the apes who stopped, thought and embraced weirdness. Find someone who accepts that you are weird, without judgement.

@cassandrapaul.bsky.social and my new preprint describes how high stakes exams in introductory physics can make it seem like there is a gender gap in learning/understanding physics when, in reality, there is none. arxiv.org/pdf/2504.09418 #iTeachPhysics 🎢 #Physics ⚛️ #EduSky 🍎 #academia #HigherEd

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies. The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits. Maybe it's not the judges?

after decades of service to the department of education my mom was purged and is not allowed in the building - thus, a friend who wasnt fired (for now) is going in to get the baby pictures of me and my sister from her office. the cruelty is the point.

Titled this "Super cute adorable Oak Titmouse" in my folder. I was not wrong. Also - TAKE THAT, All About Birds who describe them, "Nondescript save for its crest, the Oak Titmouse might not wow many bird watchers at first sight." Nondescript my tail feathers! #birds #becurious

We wrote this open letter to our students reaffirming our educational commitments to diversity, equity, inclusion and access (DEIA). Faculty friends, if this resonates with you, and you feel comfortable doing so, please consider signing this letter, and sharing it widely. medium.com/@dearstudent...

At some point the opposition needs to say what is happening here: Donald Trump is a tyrant in the full sense of the term, an American fascist dictator who believes the law flows directly from his command. And he is also a deeply unwell, unfit, and criminal man with nonsensical whims

Not just deserve. Weather monitoring, disease management, and food safety are services we pay for from the government that are being stolen from us.

Lately I've noticed that when I discuss with profs about how active learning (AL) dramatically improves student outcomes, folks will respond that their students don't seem to really like active learning. I'm perusing some literature on the subject and thought I'd share out. #iTeachPhysics 🧪⚛️ 1/5

Over and over again we find that changing the way college courses are organized (without changing the intellectual level of the material) can make them more equitable at the same time that we improve instruction generally. #academia #HigherEd #EduSky #iTeachPhysics
